In 2025, the Indian Rupee is expected to weaken slightly against the US dollar. This happens despite lower dollar and oil prices. Muted capital inflows and risk aversion are the main reasons. The Reserve Bank of India's reduced intervention also plays a role. While India's fundamentals are strong, the USDINR is projected to reach 86.50–87.00 by March 2026.

The rupee showed volatility against the US dollar on Wednesday. It opened at 86.42, briefly reaching 86.25. Risk-off sentiment and rising crude oil prices impacted the rupee.
